35 Best Asian Restaurants in Seattle

“Cute, kitschy, casual ambiance. The Lao chicken noodle soup- wow. I’m so picky with noodles of any kind and this was spot on al dente ( I think it’s house made) and the broth was rich and deep without being overtly salty. The bork belly was also great and paired well with the soup.“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am so glad we have Rainier Teriyaki as our go-to takeout spot! I’m a vegetarian and this is the best tofu teriyaki I’ve had! It’s nicely fried and stays crispy and reheats really well in air fryer. Their sauce is delicious and my partner loves their chicken. Our order has always been correct and neatly packaged and they confirm when you pick it up! I really admire their consistency. Very friendly staff, once I called just before closing and they kindly took my order which was for a friend who had just been visiting a family member in the hospital. It was such a comfort meal for her and I was so grateful! Really great spot with qualify food!“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“It's a small, intimate setting with super friendly service. Every dish we had was just delicious and done well. From the Seafood pancake (which was actually crispy and made fresh so well) to the spicy chicken to the grilled pork belly, you are assaulted with deliciousness constantly. I've been there 4 times and I couldn't recommend more.“

“In Seattle, the best teriyaki place in the city is usually the one closest to your house. Nikko Teriyaki is no exception. In my 12 years living in West Seattle, this place has never disappointed. Good portions. Tastes great. Fast service. No suprises.

Tip: Ask for a (free) extra salad dressing. One is not enough for the generous amount of salad you get.“

“This mom and pop shop had everything I needed for a quick stop for food and snacks. I wanted a quick bite and stopped here last minute. Easily best place in the area for a bahn mi. The ingredients were really fresh and the bread was the best. They did not skimp out out on the pate or meat like most places do.“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“Beautiful decor great food,and super delicious food I think this will be a great addition to Belltown.“

“We were looking for a place to grab dinner and the thought of sushi sounded pretty good. When we got there, we were wondering if we’d made the right call. We did!! It has the feel of a diner but the food is outstanding. We were the only only ones there at the time, so the owner talked to us about her business. She was very pleasant and engaging. We would most definitely be regulars here is we lived in the area. The Orgasm Roll was so, so good!!!“

“Been here a few times now and have gotten the spicy garlic chicken and general Tso’s, both with gyoza and white rice. Every time the food has been awesome. I usually get two servings from their portions too so the price feels fair for the amount and quality of food. Great place and quick service!“

“everything done perfectly! the ice tea was amazing. the sushi was delicious, and the crispy garlic chicken was so good.“

“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.“

“The pho at Meekong Kitchen in downtown was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, aromatic, and full of comforting flavor, while the noodles were perfectly cooked and the ingredients tasted fresh. Every bite was satisfying and well balanced. The portion was generous, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made for a great evening. We will definitely be coming back!“

“You know, I happen to keep coming into Le’s for Banh Mi every time I visit Seattle. I am impressed every time, and it’s easily become a foundational Banh Mi I compare others to - well done! Plus, this place is always reinventing its bakery; there’s always something new to try each time.“

“We did take out and even after a 20 minute drive, the food was still hot and delish! Found them through a 3rd party app and sometimes those are hit or miss, Grillbird was 10/10! Really reasonably priced for the size you get too. My husband and I split a plate and a spam musubi and we were satisfied after! Would highly recommend trying and getting the bang bang chicken. 🤗“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“Great service by Tyler. The Pineapple fried rice was great!“

“Ordered the chicken teriyaki for takeout at lunch, the food was fantastic! The man at the counter was friendly and had my order ready in less than 5 minutes. Inside is not anything fancy, but clean and cozy. I can definitely see myself bringing a friend or two here for a meal and good conversation in the future.“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“Excellent food and taste.“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“

“I only ordered two servings of the shrimp spring rolls because I was grabbing a quick lunch on my way to work, and they were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted so fresh, the portions were great, and you could tell they were made with care. It was the perfect meal, and I’m so glad I stopped by. If you’re looking for something light, fresh, and flavorful, I definitely recommend checking them out. Let’s support our local businesses—they truly deserve it!“

“Finally back OPEN for inside dining and being able to sit at the bar was wonderful! Tasty adult beverages and of course delicious food! Super happy my favorite Thai spot survived Covid !“

“Yummy buns variety of any kind you want to eat So tasty I’ll come back“

“I just ordered from here using DoorDash and I absolutely love it!

The sauce and the rice bowls itself have so much flavor! The meat wasn’t dry at all and was actually really tender. Perfect portion size and presentation. The rice bowls remind me of home. It’s healthy, gluten, and dairy free!

I even got a little cute thank you message on one of the boxes :) so cute“

“Great local restaurant“

“I was looking for some good good teriyaki that I could get to on the light rail. This spot hit just right! Quick and easy walk from the Othello light rail station. The air-conditioning felt so nice and the customer service was top tier, I love that they have mix and match options for the combos. They took time to help me understand the menu and all the options. Ive been here many times since that first visit. Everything Ive tried so far has been delicious, my family has been happy with their meals as well. Highly recommend !“

“This place just hits every single time. Cannot miss.

Another great experience. The food is consistently fresh, the portions are generous, and everything I’ve tried has been excellent.

Jason and his team are always incredibly welcoming and clearly care about the people who come through the door. Great food, great people, and easily one of my go-to spots.

Highly recommend!“

“Best Bahn Mi in town! Super nice staff! Great food!“

“This is a pretty cool concept, where there's a ton of different options to choose from. unlike somewhere like chipotle, though, you actually choose how much of each thing you want, and load your plate up - which resembles a buffet style. But also unlike a buffet, you pay by the pound at the end.

Invariably, this lends itself to any reasonable person skipping the majority of carbs and focusing on the higher-value meats, which is what i did. I was able to get a combination of 16 different foods on my plate, including 9 different meats.
Some of them were pretty good. The salmon was decent enough, the teriyaki was also good, as was the beef meatball. I also liked the bulgogi and spicy pork. As far as meats I didn't like - the chicken breast was astoundingly dry. There was also nothing 'korean' about the Korean fried chicken.

Non-meat wise, I really liked the combination of the yakisoba and kimchi fried rice. Both of these were great options to pair with the meat variety I had in my plate.

The price comes it at around 13 dollars per pound, which is basically what mine ended up being. It's not bad for the amount of meat you get

Overall, this place is the epitome of variety over quality - but if you're just looking to try a bunch of things, there are worse places to find. 7/10“

“This place has the best teriyaki I’ve had in Seattle. I’ve tried a million places and their chicken, rice, salad and dressing is exactly what I’m looking for when I order teriyaki. I also love that you can get just chicken breast teriyaki.“

“The yummy combo can't be beat! � Convenient on my way home and appreciate the easy parking.“
